ROUND 1: RAMOS VS. MAYOR PRICE

What an interesting take on what is about to take place in Ramos lashing out at the Mayor for wanting to look into how FWISD spends taxpayer money.  Ramos is biting the hand that fed him with all of the white power money to raise himself up and now things he is the almighty to try and defeat the impenetrable.  We all know that you are behind United Fort Worth.  You enjoy playing both sides when it suits you but this time it may not help you. 
How do you find time during work hours to make money on speaking engagements?  You may want to read a little bit about conflict of interest when the same companies you bring to the district happen to be ones that you have a stake in.  For example, Courageous Conversations of which you are a speaker for the company.
You and the rest of the board voted to censure Paz for apparently taking control of a school yet you  and other board members do the same and nothing happens.  Just look at North Side, your hand print is well established there.  We all know the influence each member has on schools and Scribner asleep all the time.
Poor Scribner, can't even find himself, a natural born puppet.

We will sit back and watch round 1!  Mayor Price, there is plenty of stuff to investigate.

PEOPLE FLYING THE COOP

So people are leaving fast and furious.  They come to FWISD to promote themselves, lie as we say and then once they got the title they flee. 

Sajade Miller got a boost for failing at schools and is now Chief of Schools at Desoto ISD.  Our system sure like to promote people who can talk a good game.  Sad state of affairs.


Then Bradford goes back to Spring ISD and now heads their department after only being the director before FWISD. 


SCRIBNER CONTRACT EXTENDED

So Scribner gets his contract extended until 2023 with a bonus.  It takes failing schools to get more money and nothing for staff.  It so happens that he was looking at the Houston ISD job and FWISD decided to keep him.  Laughable that he would try Houston because there they do have stuff in order better than FWISD.  He would not fit it, there they do dig up corruption not like here.

WE ARE HEADED TO TRIAL IN PALAZZOLO CASE

Finally we may get to hear it all at trial come January.  They have been holding on to this long enough and it's time for the truth to come out and for FWISD to stop wasting money.

Read the order.

LET'S REVISIT OUR PRIORITIES

We did a piece on the hiring practices of the district on the premise of equity of which we have seen none.  A district of more than 65% Hispanic population has been focused on only 22% of the student body and forgotten the rest.

Here we have Ashley Paz whose only priority is Daggett Montessori where her children attend and then we have Ramos who is only concerned with North Side High where his children attend.

What about the rest?  When do the other students get the same treatment as their own children?

Where is equity in that?

No one is concerned for the district as whole only with their self-interests.

Restorative, huh????

Besides JP Elder, how many secondary schools are actually using restorative practices AND have the data to back it up? There may be pockets of teachers that have embraced it but overall it is a highly infective program in secondary schools. The one high school that is supposed to be using it is an epic failure. By the way, the leader of that epic failure is now an assistant superintendent.

Let’s talk about money that could be used for...say...more secondary teachers. The district is spending well over a half a million dollars on this program. About two thirds of that money goes to an outside consulting group and about 80% of that money goes straight into the pocket of the illustrious founder of NEDRP who disguises his program as his “ministry” AKA Joel Osteen. The rest of the money goes to an RP department that has so much infighting and drama that they can't even get on the same page of teaching people how to build relationships, interesting. Speaking of the RP department, why is the entire department African American, with the exception of 1 person, while our district is 67% Hispanic? Does that sound like equity and excellence Mrs. Breed?

We can’t go without saying that this entire program, being disguised as a sustainable process, is being spearheaded by 2 people that have NEVER worked in a school, Michael Steinert and Christopher Riddick.

THE BLACK EQUITY AND EXCELLENCE DEPARTMENT

Attention Scribner and Ramos and Paz:

Sherry Breed and Mia Hall now lead the Equity and Excellence Department?
Beyond Diversity trainings creating more problems and dividing people.

67% Hispanic student population?
Is the district ONLY concerned with the African American student?
What happened to preparing ALL students?

Hey, Cynthia Rincon; is anyone monitoring hiring ratios/practices in the district?
Didn't Mia hall almost cost FWISD student lives by being anti-gay?

City of Fort Worth is over 60+% Hispanic...
